The story: We have found a few vintage dresses thus far with gold threads interwoven into the fabric. And we always feel a thread of thrill zing through us when we do!
The way these gold threads brighten up the dress; the way it makes it party-ready; the way it blends into the fabric without being too ostentatious. These gold threads.
This is a rare asymmetric button-closure dress in the loveliest pastel green colour.
And with most vintage long-sleeved dresses, we recommend scrunching the sleeves up to about 3/4 or half way up your arms so it is snazzier and gives it a modern, edgier feel.
Would go great with brown laced-up boots and a red cross-body bag.
Pinned?: No.
